Supbeam K50 vs. Fenix LD75C

Is there already a comparison review between those to flashlights ?
Which one gives the largest throw ?

There are three reviews up for the Fenix LD75C.

Then there is the Vinh modified LD75Cvn.

Haven't seen a review on the Acebeam K50. Vinh has a few pics of the K50 comparing it to the modified lights.

Budget Light Forum has had a group buy on the K50, so you might want to take a gander over there.

I read some warnings about defective battery holders for the K50 V2 which could even result in explosions. Is this problem solved by Acebeam/Supbeam ?

All three reviews are on this page. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?19-Flashlight-Reviews

Is it possible to buy the K50 V2 in The Netherlands ?

Never seen Supbeam been sold here.

You have tested the LD75c extensively, so how do you like it now after some weeks/months ?
In some reviews the shape of the beam (on a flat wall) seam very different. In some cases the bright spot in the middle looks almost perfect circular and in other reviews you see a butterfly shape. Is it very dependant on the sample you buy so just a matter of luck how good the LEDs are positioned in the reflectors ?

Which charger do you recommend to charge 4 18650 at once ?

I still like it. Of course, since summer is here I don't use it very often. Hotspot on my sample isn't perfect circular. That is hard to get, when you deal with more than one led. But in the outdoors, I don't notice it at all.
Good led-centering is always a 'lottery'.

I've a Xtar XP4 to charge four batteries at the same time. Also have a VP1 so I can check the voltage.

Here is my LD75C review.

As I mentioned in my review, coupled with the overlapping reflector wells, there are spillbeam artifacts. But, it absolutely depends on what distance and what output level you are using the light. As with multi-LEDs lights with overlapping reflector wells, there are artifacts in the spillbeam. Not that bad. The hotspot is almost circular on my sample though, as you say.

I have a Xtar VP4 and would recommend it. Here is HKJ's great review.

I have not seen about that matter here in CPF. Where did you see or hear about that?
Here is my review for the K50 V2.
I have a K50 V2 and not found that issue.

I have read already your review about the K50 V2, thanks it is a superb review
If I would be able to buy the K50 V2 in The Netherlands I would do it in an instant. Unfortunately it is not possible to buy it here.
Buy the way what is the difference between the K50 and the K50 V2 ?

The Eagletac MX25L4 with one SBT-70 LED (circular dedomed LED) seems to be a very good and very compact thrower swell. Any experience with this one ?

The difference is head size (i.e., V2 has a bigger one and more thrower.)

I'm sorry. No MX25L4s are sold in my country.

The new Acebeam K60 might also be worth considering.

too bad it has the stupid twist mechanism to turn it on. so useless! put a button there like the rest of the flashlight world does so it can be operated with ONE hand vs. TWO.
